THE grand jury of Csssia finds that
the County Commissioners have been
allowing exorbItant hills, and recon-
mends thorough investigation of all
bills hereafter. The people of Cassa
have evidently been taking but yer,
little interest in county affairs The
great majority of them were suddenly
startled few months ago on learning
that the county was over 100000 in
debt. They supposed, before the rev.
elation of the enormous indebted
ness, that the county had its head
above water, financially. Cassia
county has "a good newspaper, the
Times, but it was deemed waste of
money to pay for publishing the full
proceedings of the Commissioners and
financial reports of officers, so the
people could see where the money
was going, aud whether the business
of the county was done on all econo-
mical oasis, or carried on with a reck-
less extravaganza. The latter proved
TO be case. The proceedings of the
Commissioners of every county should
be published in the county paper;
then it extravaganza and a reckless
regard for expenditures characterizes
the actions of the Commissioners, the
people will see it and enter an EN-
phatic protest that will surely bt
effective. BY small outlay for the
publication of proceedings count,
will be a gamer in no small amoun
financially, aud besides, the citizens
of county should demand that th'
business of the county be given to tn
public through the county paper, tha
they may know just what business ha
been done, and where their none,
goes.

GERARD HUPpERTz, foreman OF the
Banner mine, informs US that drifts
have been run seven hundred and
twenty feet, east and west of th,,
shaft, in the lower level of the nine
The east drift has been run four hun
dred and fifteen feet. In the first
level above pay extended only one
hundred and seventy feet east of the
shaft. The lower level, he says, will
yield more ore than the one above,
that was worked last year, and while
the ore in the lower level will not run
as high as did that in the first lev
el above this one, the increase of the
ore body will more than make up for
the decrease in value per ton. A
drift has been started for tie Golden
Gate vein, which lies two hundred
feet east of the Banner. The drift
starts from the two hundred loot lev
ell Of the Banner mi::e. The Golden
Gate has turned out good ore. Mr.
Huppertz's opinion is that this vein is
a spur or feeder of the Banner. The
character of the ore in the Banner
changes as depth is attained. In the
lower level ruby silver has almost ell
tirely run out, and the characters of
ore now are principally brittle silver,
glance, and black sulphurets. The
indications in the lower level of the
mine are that there are two distinct
pay chutes.

THE WONDERFUL SPRING.

The party dined with good appetites rs
the guests Of Mr.. Napier. Then the cav
aleade was reformed and proceeded from
the level coulee over the highlands to the
Giant spring, which all viewed with the
greatest pleasure. The wonderful foun-
tain, which has its moods like the sea and
is affected by the state Of the atmosphere,
was seen at its best. Nessrs. Marvel,
Egan, Upham and others, who saw it for
the first time, were delighted with it's limp
Id water. its grottoes arrayed in dark
green. and its terraces in which natures
handiwork is never failing source OF
wonder. They wondered still more when
Major Maginnis pointed out that in the
river was also an eyer-fiowing spring,
mightier even than the Giant, which
swells the volume of the Missouri as it
rolls majestically TO the sea. The poetic
eve Of the major also discerned the beauty
Of spring which oozed gently through q
mass Of green vegetation that was covered
by the water.
From the Giant spring the party pro-
ceeded to the Rainbow falls, which they
saw to advantage In the clear sunlight,
that showed in all their splendor the
masses of foam formed by the falling
waters as they dash over the everlasting
table of stone on their way to the ocean.
The platform which has been erected COM
mands q good view Of the falls, and the
visitors as they stood were able to observe
not only the Rainbow falls in sll their
glory, but the other falls above and below
them, which would in themselves be an
object of wonder If they were not eclipsed
hy those which are nearly midway be-
tween them. Mr.. Egan, whom no fatigue
nor peril daunts, descended to the base of
the falls and thence to the cavern behind
them. His example was followed by Mr..
Roberts and Mr. Fogarty.
It was dusk before the visitors reached,
on their way homeward, the Black Eagle
falls, which they viewed with special in
terest because of their prominence IN
Lewis and Clark's narrative, and their
proximity to the site of this city, whose
residents yet will dwell within hearing Of
that sound which the explorers heard,
and which will be heard until time shall
be 10 more.
.sIhe shades of eve were falling fast
when the horsemen and carriages wended
their way down the slope which leads to
Great Falls, and they were soon within the
walls of the palatiaI chateau called the
Park hotel.

and agreed to take their pay in stock, and
that T. S. Burton and Geo. AlthofT went
east to place the stock, but were unsuc-
cessful. He said. also, that AlthoH gave
away 5000 shares, for which the COM
pany got no return and which it will not
recognize; that Burton and the purchasers
will be duly protected in their interests by
the management.
To the charges against him Althof re-
piled BY showing letter written by NC
Bride in January to Burton and himself
while they were east, in which he dissent
ed from the proceedings of the board Of
trustees. The letter is to the effect that
a certain number Of shares were to be sent
there TO be sold tc raise the working CAPT
tai, and that $4,000 shares were issued
them to to be used as they thought best
to advance the interests OF the company
A like amount was issued to Mcbride to
be used for the same purpose In Montana.
It is said there will be considerable litiga-
fion over the matter.

DEMOCRATS CONVENE.
The Dead Presidents Funeral.

SALT LAKE, July 3o.-Fifteen thousand
people viewed Taylor's remains to-day.
The face was emaciated, the skin yellow
and the eyes sunken. Eight thousand
people were in the tabernacle during the
services. The coffin was of native red
pine with silver handles, on which was a
plate inscribed with the name and date
of death and birth. The floral emblems
were few and of ordinary flowers, one q
beehive Of marigolds. There was large
cross and anchor on either side and an
anchor on top. The crowds surged in from
IT'LL II o'clock. Taylor's family occupied
the right-hand benches. The organ and
rows Of pulpits were heavily draped and
photograph Of Taylor hung'in front Of
the organ.
The coffin was closed at 10 o'clock and
the services lasted nearly three hours.
Angus NJ Cannon, exconyict, presided.
Numerous speeches were made, and an
apostle, son of John Taylor, tried to
speak from the audience, but was prevent
ed. The choir furnished good music
during the ceremony. The hearse was
black with gilt beehive surmounting Z
it. The procession was only twenty min
utes in passing a given point. At the
grave the choir sang, prayers were offered
and the coffin deposited without further
ceremony. A granite vault will be built
over the remains at once.

ager Of the KleinschmIdt Company of Deer
Lodge, with James A. Talbot ef the Silver
Bow mill to supply 10000 cords Of wood
at $4.75 cord. to be delivered at the rate
OF ten cars day. Superintendent Dawson
SAYS the Montana Union has plenty of
cars TO meet this demand, the only diff
Guilty being in having the cars unloaded at
their destination as quickly as they are re-
ceivsd. He added they are now deliver
ing ten cars of wood every other day to
the Anaconda mine and fifteen every

none of the houses could be saved, and
fifty cows were cremated in various stables.

brains are weak from suffering caused by
the panic which the leader of the

the right of homestead is so we'll estab-
lished we cannot depart from it. It makes
no difference what the business was she

of homestead, which is established by IN
contradictory testimony. The judgment
is affirmed.
| J. II. McAninch ct al. vs.. John D.
Freeman, from Bell county; opinion by
Gaines, A. j. This is a contention be-
tween appellee, who claims under pat
ent to one Joseph Washington, and appel
lants, who claim under one George Allen,
about tract of land said to be included
in both surveys. The land in question is
part OF strip between a chain of surveys
on Indian creek and a chain of surveys on
Davis creek. The Washington survey is
the older, and if it embraces the land in
question then appellee shows the better
title. 1t is merely question of bounda-
ry. The Washington survey calls
for the Newell surveys Oh
the south, about which there
is no dispute, and the Wills and White
surveys on the north. 1t is an Office sur
vey, and was laid off with regard to the
surrounding surveys without going on
the land. Beginning at the southeast
corner the survey calls Tor n. 10 E. 1929
varaS to mound on the south line of the
White survey, but line so run is 800
varas south of the southeast corner of the
White survey. All the rest of the lines
fail to reach the points called for around
to the place beginning, showing that
something is wrong with the course or
distance above given. The surveyor testi-
fed that it was his intention to embrace
the land between the surveys on the two
creeks afOrefaid. 1t has been decided
several times that a call for distance
when the evidence shows that the sur
veyor actually stopped at the point called
for will prevail over a call for an I'M
marked line or corner of q survey in q |
prairie; but this does not apply to this |
case. because the corner of the White sur
veV is well defined. and, as there was no |
actual survey, the distance must yield to |
the call for the corner. The distances in
this survey must yield, as they Ordin-
arily do, TO marked lines and corners
and running the lines in this
NAV the Washington survey includes the
and in controversy. The fact hat D. @.
Freeman, under whom appellee holds,
the land since the date of the
patent. does not help appellants. The
court did not err in refusing TO charge
hat the report of the surveyor must be
given more weight than his testimony.
The motion to strike out the statement of
acts because documents are copied ct
ength contrary to the rules of court, is
lot sufficient reason. If appellants had
Won the case we could tax them the extra
'osts, but as the Judgment is affirmed
hey must pay them all.
